This is too long for my bio: I study the perpetuation of systemic oppression through the lense of internalized marginalization, specifically misogyny via the criminalization of sex work under the guise of the white savior.
@SydneyBattle
In ELEMENTARY school the students were “sold” to the teachers so we could “learn what it felt like back in the day, and teachers were gonna be extra mean but don’t worry it’s pretend” and the GROWN ADULTS ended up bullying us physically and emotionally for like three hours
Gender is a trip. Just dropped my cat off at the vet and the tech literally RAN back out to my car to ask if they had the right cat because the appt was for “Ben” but the crate was pink...then she said TO THE CAT, “okay well boys can like pink I guess” as she took him back in 🙃

@judahelise
Omggg the actor that plays Justin tried to get through airport security with a gun and someone tweeted “What’s that? A strap” and I think about it once a day
@IWriteAllDay_
Legit I’ve stopped being friends w ppl bc they complained I never “paid my own way” like I made >20k and they made 150+ I’m not buying the fucking Mai Thais?
@itskeyon
I was in awe of how stunning she was when I was a kid. Then grew up and found out she’s gay, unpacked my comphet and realized I am too. Truly a win for my daydreaming where we’re married
Anyways, the vet called when he was done to say, “we saw the note you expressed his glands &were skeptical bc cats don’t let you do that; but then we took him out and he’s so outgoing we were like ‘oh that’s how’ I shaved his butt fur w/o help just petting him with my other hand”
@OffTargetEffect
I got told by my dept, as well as the grad dept that we’re not getting a stipend raise (from 19k/yr to 21.5) bc we all need to make sacrifices. When I said the pres pulls in 470k/yr I don’t think it’s the same, I was told he took a 7% cut that year. His 7% is 10k more than I make
@paraempathetic
@PatPontificates
One of my old PIs did this. It was near impossible to get an email response when I worked there 😂 but five years later I asked for a letter: same day she called to catch-up, said what she intended to mention and asked what I’ve been doing since so she could speak to my growth
@SpoopySadnoodle
@hoodgothic
This was my experience exactly. For 5+ years they threw everything at me but ADHD. I finally got the diagnoses and an on meds as of TODAY. My doc said he doesn’t believe in adhd, but if that’s “how I feel” we’ll try it. It’s been one day. The difference is astronomical
@MariusKothor
@helenrottier
Lol I call these ppl cosplayers. Once had someone tell me how they lived on ramen for years, come to find out the had a 120k/2yr stipend but “prioritized saving half” so they’d talk about living on 30k
@junlagoon
@Tee_ldn2
This drives me up a wall! Like idgaf about their fucking live events & clicking through gets rid of the other notifications so then I miss actual comments & shyt. Also wish you could mute like notification on comments you’ve made on others vids bc good god
@SydneyBattle
We stood on a stage in lines, they came around examining us physically; making us show them our hands/teeth, they talked in a southern accent and “bought” us. To so show what “sl*very was like”, when it was just a day of grown (white) adults screaming and spitting in kids faces.
@smreine
Same with my dog and his purple leash. Like no wonder I thought I was cis until I was 30; people impose gender norms on fucking animals passing by
I just met someone off anon Twitter (we vid chatted) and naturally I assumed they were a SWer but apparently not? They joked “others always think that too”? Kinda feels like their timeline is deliberately deceptive & we had dozens of mutuals, makes me uncomfy so feel free to dm
@MuslimMissWorld
I became a literal wh0r3 while those around me irl made six figs, meanwhile h00k3rs on Twitter have saved my life by sending me what they could when I’ve been scraped
@bimbomarxistt
@geminifay
Omg did you see just that TikTok? I legit thought I was transported to another realm bc I’ve never heard it like that before I was stunned
@eofallthings
@ThePOTSPostman
Literally went my entire life never having or evening knowing what thrush was but ever since my one & only dance w cov circa 0mnicr0n I’ve yet to fully kick it, & this is despite multiple rounds of scripts from my PCP🙃
I started reading how women are 40-80% more likely than men to be diagnosed with personality and mood disorders in place of ADHD. that was me. Two shrinks told me I might be bipolar/BPD (nothing wrong with it but I knew it didn’t fit)
@anschizo
@earringdealer
Wow. Thank you for this you’re so right! I’ve been watching so much TSR in quarantine and didn’t make this connection. They give me Amelia Bedelia vibes
@BumblebyCanon22
@lndeedee
@pyroclextic
I def recommend looking more into it, especially diving deeper into any savoir complexes that could be underpinning some of that desire. There’s loads of great ppl on TikTok, if you’re on that I can recommend a few jumping off accounts!
@HamletHologram
OMG HII WE FOUND EACH OTHER NO WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PASSED A LEATHERDADDY DOING BALLOON ANIMALS AND YOU JUST WANNA GO BACK REAL QUICK AND FIND THEM-
@idklogmein
@IDontKn19947709
This. Plus when I did finally come to my senses I had an arsenal of ppl I knew would believe me, almost all were simply waiting in the wings to help out once I came to
@TheSecondCity
Remember that time I went to a show a few years back and someone was shouting slurs at your cast and the bar did nothing, but the woman next to the people shouting slurs was removed?!
@creamy_meme
@GROOVYCHl
The only time I separate is this. And even then I separate my shit into “new thing + things I don’t care if it fucks up” like towels lol
@GradyLugosi
@reneenicolegray
Love this one. A friend of mine who’s probably the most cautious outta my non disabled circle went to a “quick outdoor dinner w an outta the country friend”, 3 days later I get the “I have Covid” call like?? 🙃
@hayleyhexagon
@punishedgaycat
Thank you for putting it this way. It’s why it took me so much longer to find my identity. Because in college when I would pursue women it was seen as a performance; no one took me seriously so I didn’t either.
@THR
Yo
@Lavernecox
I’m a trans SWer in case you’d ever actually wanna back up the big talks you’ve given about being wary when just a few are elevated into the sphere of the powerful. Cause you’re literally being no better with this shit, partnering with those that speak over us
@NlessW
@lux_banana
Ehh not necessarily, I got one 6yrs ago so 1yr until it expires & I’ll need to get it removed/replaced, I’m sick to my stomach at the thought. It’s been amazing for me but w/o question I’d be deterred from getting another if it wasn’t for the fact I need to get it out regardless
@lavenderblod
@cyreejarelle
Yupp this. Like okay being isolated is hard for you. Like me too? I have multiple mental health issues, live fucking alone, and still literally have not seen anyone or gone out since March. So you “needing to see x for y” shit can bite me
@Starshark668
@lachancenaomi27
I’ve said it many times, but the quickest way to become the rule is to believe you’re the exception. Thankfully, the lil rabbit hole I just went down has ppl saying the city finally stepped in & she had to stop🙏🏻
@kattenbarge
@afrodykee
Always worth nothing if she actually had an OF & embraced/promoted it these ppl would not only be less interested, they’d crucify her. The vi0lation is the point🤮
@SpoopySadnoodle
Yuppp. It’s a fucking shitshow getting help, but I’ll light a candle d’or you and hopefully you’re able to get the help you deserve 💚💛

@pinkladyfoxx
Not only is the performative, as you’ve been told- but to not take head of how this is DANGEROUS and itself whlt3 supr3m4cy is violence. Antagonizing ppl who’s entire existence is based in enacting harm on marginalized ppl bc of their own inferiority/superiority complex, is vile.
@a_h_reaume
This is one of the main reasons I stayed in/didn’t recognize my prev rela as IPV for so long. Obv those kinds of situations inevitably take more from you than they give, but that scale didn’t tip sooner bc the lifted weight/capacity I got from just having *someone* else was huge
In light of recent events, I’ve decided to make a thread dedicated to the blessings I’ve received over the past 16 months; most of which came from a magical dumpster, yes dumpster. In 2020 my life had been turned upside down, but one thing has been truly unbelievable, my dumpster
@Blck1crs
I study the white-savior complex as a facet of white supremacy; specifically as it relates to internalized misogyny and the criminalization of SW
@MxKantEven
Fuck I wish this wasn’t opposed against. I’ve lost friends bc they were “sick of” always paying for shit when we went out, I made less than 20k while they made 150+ at their tech startup & no student loans 🙃
Just your run of the mill Tuesday, sitting in the court conference room awaiting the decision on my RO filing against my fucking fath3r. My life isn’t real
@ZiaOnFilmAndTV
@keatingssixth
@idkthreat
Nevermind the whole “cutesie” names actually becomes a way for abuse to go unreported/dismissed bc children aren’t given the language necessary.
It’s gonna cost $300 to file an order of protection. I chased down all the info, filled out idk how many forms, and only one mentioned a fee but $300 is- I can’t. Plus it gives him my legal name & confirms my address. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK
Guess who found statistical significance of women’s internalized misogyny and their ratings on pick-me tweets; making me the *first* researcher to empirically demonstrate a manifestation of IM in lateral oppression 😜
I also read how stimulants effect ADHD and it was a punch in the face. It was a fucking party trick for years how much ❄️ I could do and feel nothing, how much coffee I’d drink in a day and tap a nap. All of these things were painting a picture I couldn’t get anyone to see
@pinkladyfoxx
You match with c0ps to “throw an acab in the dms” bc you’re more concerned with FEELING like you’ve done something than truly protecting the ones who end up paying for this. You are what you’ve believed you’re not- a white person perpetuating violence against those marginalized.
@iconickbeauty
As a gay woman lemme reiterate that gay men are sometimes VIOLENTLY misogynistic and transphobic, so yeah. This tweet ignores there are gay women like?
@chronicallybeee
This is so validating to read. Multiple times I’ve been treated like I’m crazy™️ when I KNOW I’ve called attention to something, AND I KNOW THEY KNOW I did too but they’ll be like, “nope. Nothing here”
@riomatt00
I literally viewed marriage as a societal construct I could use to get insurance, the idea of a whole wedding turned my stomach in knots. But turns out it was just the thought of walking down an aisle to a man!! I have been planning such an elaborate wedding, just need the wife
@DisabilityStor1
Nvm the fact it’s just another ex of putting more burden on disabled students compared to their abled peers. Now I gotta go thru the harrowing & extensive accoms process just for a laptop? That sure won’t cut into the time I need for assignments🙃
@eofallthings
Been putting feelers out bc my current gig’s got layoff writings on the wall. These are 4/12 ss I took of this flavor of listing, outta a whopping 20 posted jobs I viewed that day. My location was set to “remote” only & my 2 search terms were “remote” + “data”🙃
@nisslbodies
@ThylacineReport
I truly lose it when ppl ask dumb shyt like that 😂 sometimes I’ll give an answer that gets UNCOMFY lol but usually I go with “what a peculiar question. Sounds like you may have some strange beliefs surrounding where you derive value and what it means to age”
@twig_lalaland
@DrPragyaAgarwal
Yupp. My higher pain tolerance™️ is merely a reflection of disassociation from my body, which I’d argue is the case for a vast majority💔
@tslycha
I guess you could deem it spite/stubbornness but really ik this world isn’t designed for ppl like me, if anything it’s designed specifically to get rid of ppl like me so anytime I go there™️ in my head I think “this is exactly what they want” & I stay lol
@literElly
@molliekatie
I feel like a part of it’s rooted in them not taking us seriously. I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten to know someone, openly commiserated w them on financial woes, & later learn they come from hella money. Like they’re can’t spent=shouldn’t vs can’t=literally unable
@get_inflow
People not understanding I’m not TRYING to struggle with deadlines, I promise any frustration you have I’ve already directed that inwards ten fold. The value of unbridled support really can’t be understated
